Normally I'd give the Sabres an advantage for this one with Montreal on a back-to-back, but I'm not sure how much that applies early in a season and especially with a team looking to avoid going down 0-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumph_communes Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Are there a bunch of injuries on the Kraken defense why we haven’t been able to upgrade? It’s the defense I worry about more than anything. I think we’re back to tank years four equal lines. Their chance of winning is staying fresh and out competing.

Thorny Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Looking at the lines again and trying to piece the thinking together a bit.. They said it was a development year, right? They must have young Eakin between our two Alternate captains to help him with exactly that this season. Can't think of who else might benefit from that sort of leadership on their line. Should help Eakin come along nicely into the role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Power is waiting in the wings. If he turns into that stud D and Dahlin is a middle pair D, that might not be the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we are planning on developing Eakin back to respectability and turning him into a 2nd round pick at the deadline. What a plan. 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what was being reported. That by getting Dahlin, it would be easier to effect a teardown. A lot of us here hoped it was misreporting. But based upon events that June 30, it wasn't.

jsb Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 There will always be a spot for a C that can win a face-off on the PK in their defensive zone, EAKin is not playing to score. I like R2 also but he isn't a C in the NHL. Price isn't playing, Montreal played Toronto last night, there's a good chance they left their load in Toronto and are overlooking the Sabres. Thompson will either make this game/season entertaining or doom us to failure. Speed is our friend. LETS GO BUFFALO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
